Who was doing research in the summer of 2008?

Eric Lynch
('10) conducted field work in Montana this summer. Eric excavated
Cretaceous dinosaur fossils in collaboration with vertebrate
paleontologists from the Museum of the Rockies (Montana State
University). Eric worked with Dr. Jack Horner, science advisor for the
film Jurassic Park. Eric's travel was funded partly by the Bucknell Geology Department Marchand Fund.

Dan Hubacz
('09) spent the summer working in the lower Susquehanna River Gorge
near Holtwood, Pennsylavnia. Dan located high-level slackwater
sediments deposited by early Holocene and Pleistocene paleofloods and
will be working on determining the discharge and possibly an estimate
of the number of paleofloods recorded on the bedrock islands. Craig
Kochel is Dan's advisor. Assisting Dan in the field from time to time
were Christine Kassab ('08) and Calvin Manning ('09). Funding was
provided by the Bucknell Program for Undergraduate Research and the
Geological Society of America.

Molly Pritz ('10) worked with Brent Shipe
(Chem. Eng. '10) to complete a research project this summer examining
the flow rates of large Shamokin-area mine discharges as well as
working at two passive mine drainage treatment systems. Dr. Carl Kirby
is Molly's advisor. Funding was provided by the Katherine Mabis McKenna
Foundation

Ed Bauer ('09) and Cullen Kortyna
('11) conducted sedimentological field work in the Talkeetna Mountains,
southern Alaska. Their mapping and measured stratigraphic sections
permit reconstruction of Eocene paleoenvironments and improved
contraints on the displacement history of the Castle Mountain fault
system. Funding was provided by the Bucknell Program for Undergraduate
research.

Christine Kassab
('08) completed the six-week Indiana University field camp in Montana,
mapping geologic features from the Black Hills to Glacier National Park.
